Other than very carefully skirting the issue and writing a few PA's, your position is that the gov: I believe a government should run lean and within it's means, not overindulgent and needing to take 30%, 40%, 50%, etc. of what a person works for and earns. So you advocate low spending and low taxing, unless we're talking about all social programs and the military, you believe taxes are too high and s/b next to nothing with no benefits to the needy, limited military, etc. Or you can keep playing hide-the-sausage and not completely stating how you feel while dropping big inuendos about tax cuts my friends. Maybe grow a set and actually place your position or just keep running; hell I don't care. Probably one of the more moronic things I've read. No one is out to get me, the morons of America aren't intelligent enough to read about taxation history to realize that low taxes are the cause of this mess. I said I believe in low spending and low taxes. You think MORE spending is the way to a brighter future? Hello, McFly...it was moronic people who spent far more than they took in that got us into this mess. But nobody here expects you to understand that concept. After all, it isn't 50% of your earnings that the government wants to take and as long as it remains such you really don't care how much the government spends.

I have no desire to attempt to refute the article. There are pros and cons to tax cuts and if the answer were easy then there would be no argument as to whether we need them or not. I believe a government should run lean and within it's means, not overindulgent and needing to take 30%, 40%, 50%, etc. of what a person works for and earns. I was merely pointing out that lucky has managed to finally find somebody who shares his beliefs. The chances of that happening I compared to a blind pig finding corn, something they can do if they sniff around long enough. It could not have been an insult since insults are not allowed here in SC.

If he disregarded laws prohibiting drunk driving, why would he be concerned about driving without a license? The second line - "As part of his parole, order that he sell the vehicle ? " No car, no problem. Really? Just because he doesn't own a car doesn't mean he can't get his hands on one to drive. Taking a car away from a habitual DUI offender is like taking a stick away from a monkey. It pisses them off but they will get another.

How do you feel about the war to oust Saddam Hussein? He didn't have weapons of mass destruction but,but,but, he wasn't a nice guy either. Should we have invaded Iraq? Blues, DJ Short answer....no. But then, you are comparing apples to watermelons. A man who is released because he was falsley convicted of rape even though he admitted to stealing some cars is a far cry from someone who is committing genocide.

But he wasn't convicted of other crimes. While there are people who are generally bad characters we, as a society, cannot allow ourselves to degenerate to the point of punishing people for things we 'know' they did but cannot prove. It is oft heard that though someone was imprisoned for a crime he did not commit, he had done other things for which he deserved to be imprisoned so it is ok. But it is not ok, never has been, and never will be. Congratulations, there is a bottom to your uber-conservatism. I mean that seriously, it is nice to see that, it's called reason over extremist. That said you are still too far right, but you aren't pegged out. Since you classify anyone who doesn't agree with you lock-step as being right-wing fascist neo-con, that statement means nothing. Not at all, just the morons who think having the top tax brkt < 50% is beneficial, but can't show a time in history where we enjoyed sustained benefit from low taxes. I happen to feel the top tax rate should be

First off, I have no idea where it was filmed. But, for the sake of argument, let's say it was filmed where driving at those speeds is legal. Since high speed driving is legal on select public roads around the globe, people who drive on those roads KNOW that there will be cars traveling at high rates of speed. They expect it and adjust their driving habits accordingly. Where there are set speed limits, such as in the US, people who drive on those roads, walk along those roads, cross those roads, etc. expect the vehicles on them to be traveling somewhere around the speed limit, not more than double. All else being equal driving at high speed on a barren section of road is more dangerous than driving at a low speed regardless of legallity. Driving at high spedd on a race track where everyone knows there are cars going fast and everyone is going the same direction (hopefully!) and the course is secured by track personel before any car is allowed on it is far safer than driving the same speeds on a section of road you think is clear because you just made a sweep of it. Driving more than double the speed limit isn't unsafe because it is illegal...it is illegal because it is unsafe. The world is full of wanna-be race car drivers who think their skills are better than anyone elses. Well, I got news for them...their driving skills actually suck. I've seen literally hundreds of hot-shots show up at track days while i was testing and learned early on to avoid them like the plague. They miss shifts, spin, cut thu the grass, throw dirt and crap up onto the racing surface, tear up their car and end up getting lapped by a skilled driver in a stock Civic. Now, what is safer? Having them do that on a secure race track, or out on a public highway?

...and they wonder why they, as a group, get no respect. They don't? Heck, I respect them as a group. I respect them because I know that most are honorable men and women doing a job they get little thanks for. This is not a thread about the military, this is a thread about dirty pigs, as you were. The commenet I responded to was directed at police as a group, not just the bad ones. Please try to pay attention. And I was never a cop, let alone a "dirty pig". As you were menat to be ab independent statement, not an assertion that you were ever a cop - poor punctuation. Police as a group - as another poster said, that is the problem; they are pigs as a group with a few good ones. Also, the courts allow them to get away with murder, so the problem is systemic and isn't getting better. Have any viable data to back up your claim that more cops are bad than good? Or your claim that the courts "let them get away with murder" ? Yea, they really keep data on dirty cops and most of it goes unreported or uninvestgated/unenforced, so just go on pig-loving and pretending it's just 1 bad one here or there. I've witnessed the courts letting one go on murder, observed cases where 2nd degree gets charged as a traffic ticket. The only reason they charge it that way is to avoid double jeopardy and immunize the murdering piggy from further charges. So you're just blowin' smoke based on your own prejudices with no data at all to back up your claims. In other words...business as usual. Yea, pot - kettle. Do I need to post data that you ignored that's just a couple threadfs away? Yea, 100 years of tax rates? Uh huh, you ought to let that one go. It's about as ridiculous as you can get to think any credible data or data alone is collected and tabulated for dirty cops. Love it, I had a tool in a fidd forum ask me for data about all the innocent people executed since Gregg v Georgia in 1976; guess what? They don't make those admissions, just like dirty cops - it just won't be admitted. What the FUCK are you talking about????? Seriously, Dude, you need to get outside and spend some time away from the internet.

At 180 mph a vehicle covers 264 feet every second. The average person takes .2-.3 seconds to start to respond to an expected event, even more to an unexpected event. Add a few more tenths for the dirver to actually make a control input, then a couple more for the vehicle to respond, then a few more for the response to have the desired affect.... You can see where this is going. At 180 mph a vehicle covers a hell of a lot of ground before any corrective action takes affect. Anybody caught driving at those speeds on a public road should be charged with a felony. The ONLY exception would be where it is legal.

I was under the assumption that fly by wire was becoming common place due to fuel economy reasons... Cheaper to manufacture doesn't really make sence with retooling the lines etc...but it would be quite intresting to know what the total costs in comparason would be... You should price out costs to the vehicle owner to replace such parts if required......I replaced a throttle body assembly on a domestic car the other month to the tune of $600 for the part alone....never seen a throttle cable cost that much...... Before EFI replaced them, I remember it being common for a replacement carb to cost far in excess of $600.

I could NOT disagree more. He was simply an incompetent driver; they are all around us. JerryBaumchen PS) Back in the late '50's I was driving my brother's 1950 Oldsmobile convertible when the throttle stuck wide open, I merely reached down & turned the key off & then corrected the problem. Thanks for the reply. After re-reading my post i see it sounds as though I blame the car. I would edit the post if i could but it is too late. Instead of saying the vehicle caused the accident I should have written that the vehicle was involved in an accident...and he was driving. Personally, I think the car did exactly what his inputs instructed it to do. He just happened to be pushing the wrong pedal.

He didn't spend time in jail because of his Toyota. He spent time in jail because he was driving a vehicle that caused an accident in which several people died and he was found to be at fault. He was recently released from jail because a judge found that there was sufficient evidence to have a retrial and the prosecutor has decided not to pursue the case any further.

So in these repots an analysis where does it explain the rate of decent of the building or even explain thier collpses at all, the NIST failed to do so, so whaich reports do you have access to that nonody else has? You say you have explained before how building 7 could fall in 6.5 seconds but you cannot cite the post or article that explaines it. are we supposed to blindly accept your explanation without reference to cross check it with? ahh but I suppose 1200 engineers and architects do not either. on one hand we have a post whore on DZ.com that wants to act like he has infinate knowledge (you) and we have wll over 1200 industry professionals that work full time in the field, had written peer reviewed papers and conducted experiemnts and have tangible evidence of explosives. do you beleive they are lying about nano thermite, and how do you suggest building 7 managed to fall in 6.5 seconds from fire and debris damage? please cite you sources or you are soimply making us accept blindly you word which is not very much at this stage. you word on the subject cn be described as a floccinaucinihilipilification. why, because you refuse to cite you references and explain 2 fundamental questions. You can ignore the thermite but that does not make it go away. Where have i relied upon the NIST reports? You give credit to the 1200 who signed the petition, but you totally discredit the tens of millions who didn't. I challenge you to provide one piece of hard evidence to back your claim of the use of thermite, thermate, super-nano-techno-extreme-thermite, or whatever you are calling it these days. ONE PIECE of evidence that can hold up to scrutiny. Time to back what you claim.

I have blindly accepted nothing. I have studied the reports and analysis, have seen first hand the remains of the steel columns, and have determined for myself that it was the airliners and only the ailiners that brought down the towers. #7 was destroyed by debris from the towers. On the other hand, since you don't have the education or background to interpret the reports and analysis, and have never seen first hand the remains of the columns, you cannot determine for yourself what is valid and what isn't. So you chose to believe what a bunch of self-educated idiots have told you because it is what you wanted to hear.
